In the on-going battle for possession of
"the Pit" parking lot, USC attorneys and
lawyers representing the owners of the lot
met again yesterday in a 5th Circuit Court
condemnation hearing.
Both sides have been battling for
ownership since June 1979, when a court
order forced USC to return the property to
the Rembert family. The Rembertj allege
USC made "unlawful and unauthorized" use
of the land.
Columbia attorney William Pope,
representing the Rembert family, restated
claims that USC was acting without proper
authority when the university filed condemnation
papers Aug. 28.
Pope told 5th Circuit Judge Walter Cox the
university's actions were not authorized by
USC's Board of Trustees. He said USC
failed to comply with a statutory
requirement that condemnation be used
only incases of "public necessity."

have no specific plans for the 1.13-acre lot if
they obtain it. Pope said the property,
therefore, is not a "necessity" for USC.
USC LAWYER Timothy Quinn said the
university has immediate plans to use the
land as a parking lot, as it had been used
from June 1975 to June 1979. The deposition,
he argued, stated several alternatives for
the land's future use, including use as a USC
parking garage site.
Although Pope said the university had no
legal authorization for condemnation
procedures, Quinn said Board of Trustee
authorization was not needed in previous
condemnation procedures by USC.
However, acting on recommendations
from the administration, the board ratified
condemnation procedures against the
Rembert's property Dec. 5, Quinn said.
"To my knowledge, they (the board) have
never, except for this case here, voted to
condemn a piece of property," Quinn said.
Since regaining the land, the Rembert

family has been leasing the lot's 200 parking
spaces for $15 a month. Pope said yesterday
the university is "in effect condemning"
any income to be gained from the land.
POPE ALSO said he stands firm in his
argument that the price offered by USC for
the lot is inadequate. The university last
June offered $85,000 for the land, hut the
Remberts value the lot at $600,000.
According to Pope, USC acquired the
Booker T. Washington High School land in
1974 for $5.50 a square foot. He argued that
now, six years later, the university is only
willing to pay $1.70 a square foot for "the
Pit."
Cox asked several times during the
hearing for Clarification of the attorneys'
arguments. He said he was "troubled"' particularly
about the authorization for
USC's condemnation proceedings.
The 5th circuit judge called for a future
"hearing on facts" in which USC would be
allowed to prepare more information to
explain the board's role in the condemnation
proceedings.
